SINGAPORE: The government is stepping up enforcement and surveillance in public areas, in a bid to deter the recalcitrant minority from littering, and will also raise standards of the cleaning and food industry.

Second Minister for Environment and Water Resources, Grace Fu said this in her Ministry's Committee of Supply debate speech on Tuesday.

Littering incidents around neighbourhoods could decrease as the National Environment Agency (NEA) conducts an enforcement blitz against litterbugs.

This includes deploying officers in littering hotspots and working with the police to tap on their surveillance cameras.

All these mean an increase of enforcement man-hours by 50 per cent - from 23,600 to 34,600.

Ms Fu said her ministry is targeting repeat offenders.

In addition to the composition fines, recalcitrant offenders can be sent to court where they can be fined up to S$1,000 for the first conviction and/or get a Corrective Work Order requiring them to clean public areas for up to 12 hours.

She said: "We are considering increasing the maximum court fine for recalcitrant offenders to S$2,000 for the first court conviction, S$4,000 for the second conviction and S$10,000 for the third and subsequent convictions. In short, we will not tolerate littering and cannot rely solely on cleaners to keep Singapore clean. We need everyone to help us make the transition from being a 'cleaned' city to a 'clean' one."

NEA also introduced the Enhanced Clean Mark Accreditation Scheme in November last year, in a bid to encourage some 900 cleaning companies to raise standards and employment conditions.

From April, the government will only engage the services of accredited companies for new tenders. Ms Fu said since it was introduced, 55 companies have submitted applications, and 10 have been accredited.

The ministry will also propose that cleaning companies will have to apply for licences in order to operate from next year, and to do so, they will need to incorporate mandatory training courses, and progressive wage models for their cleaners.

She said: "My ministry is ready to table a Bill later this year to introduce the mandatory licensing of all cleaning companies in 2014. By improving the productivity and standards of the industry, we hope to uplift the jobs of 50,000 resident cleaners that we have. With better training and employment conditions, our cleaners can look forward to better lives."

Ms Fu noted that the food catering industry has also been identified as having a high risk of food-poisoning incidents.

She said: "In 2012, food caterers had the highest food poisoning incidence rate among all types of food outlets. In addition, the average number of people affected per food poisoning incident was the highest for food caterers."

So from June 2014, food catering companies will have to submit a Food Safety Management System plan upon being issued a licence.
littering
Existing caterers renewing their licence will need to submit the plan three months before their renewal dates.

Ms Fu said this will include ensuring food handlers observe good food and personal hygiene and that they do not report to work when ill.

Yes good one !!!

It's the new immigrants that must be aware of this !!

Singapore were a clean garden city where 3.5m people knw what's our role .

Until the accessive 2m immigrants into Singapore started to bring in their living culture into Sgp , here we go , another problem start .

My house area , used to be very clean , viod decks litter free , Fairprice trolleys and Giant trolleys not to be seen , now ?

I can see Fairprice trolleys everywhere , including Giant trolleys , machiam free one .

Take from store and dispose at void decks .

Now void decks all filled with tissues papers , old newspaper , plastic bags , coke cans , chlorine bottle ...... what u think off , pampers also .

THe new immigrants that bought the house into this precinct , brought their india and china and philipine littering culture into Sgp , phui .

They must be educated on this .

Poolman SG

If 3.5m people do our best to keep Singapore clean , 2m people does the littering , it doesn't make a difference .

So let it rot , let's litter !
